NEW STANDARDS PROJECTS
Development work has begun on the following new or revised standards. Directly and materially affected individuals are invited to contribute to the development of such standards. Those wanting to participate may contact the Staff Secretary listed with the document.
Participation on AWS Technical Committees and Subcommittees is open to all persons.
B2.1-23-028-202x, Standard Welding Procedure Specification (SWPS) for Gas Metal Arc Welding (Spray Metal Transfer Mode) of Aluminum (M-23/P-23), 1/8 inch [3 mm] through 1-1/2 inch [38 mm] Thick, ER4043 or ER4943, in the As-Welded Condition, Primarily Plate and Structural Applications
Scope: This standard contains the essential welding variables for aluminum in the thickness range of 1/8 inch [3 mm] through 1- 1/2 inch [38 mm], using semiautomatic gas metal arc welding (Spray Metal Transfer Mode). It cites the base metals and operating conditions necessary to make the weldment, the filler metal specifications, and the allowable joint designs for fillet and groove welds. This SWPS was developed primarily for plate and structural applications.
Project need: Need for pretested welding procedures that satisfy the technical requirements for the commonly used construction codes and specifications.
Stakeholders: Manufacturers, welders, engineers, CWIs, accredited training facilities Manufacturers, welders, engineers, CWIs, accredited training facilities

B2.1-23-029-202x, Standard Welding Procedure Specification (SWPS) for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding of Aluminum (M- 23/P-23), 1/8 inch [3 mm] through 1-1/2 inch [38 mm] Thick, R4043 or R4943, in the As- Welded Condition, Primarily Plate and Structural Applications
Scope: This standard contains the essential welding variables for aluminum in the thickness range of 1/8 inch [3 mm] through 1- 1/2 inch [38 mm], using manual gas tungsten arc welding. It cites the base metals and operating conditions necessary to make the weldment, the filler metal specifications, and the allowable joint designs for fillet and groove welds. This SWPS was developed primarily for plate and structural applications.

STANDARDS FOR PUBLIC REVIEW
AWS was approved as an accredited standards-preparing organization by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1979. AWS rules, as approved by ANSI, require that all standards be open to public review for comment during the approval process. This column also advises of ANSI approval of documents. The following standards are submitted for public review. A draft copy may be obtained by contacting the staff secretary of the committee as listed below at: AWS, Standards Development, 8669 NW 36 Street, #130, Miami, FL 33166-6672; telephone 305.443.9353.
Please note, due to the nature of publication timelines, not all listed documents are done so in a timely manner. For ANSI Standards Action, listing all projects bi-weekly, please visit: www.ansi.org/resource-center/standards-action.
D14.6/D14.6M-202x, Specification for Welding of Rotating Elements of Equipment
New Standard: $48.00 [ANSI Public Review expires 4/1/24]
Staff Contact: K. Bulger – kbulger@aws.org
ISO DRAFT STANDARDS FOR PUBLIC REVIEW
Copies of the following Draft International Standards are available for review and comment through your national standards body, which in the United States is ANSI, 25 West 43rd Street, Fourth Floor, New York, NY, 10036; telephone 212.642.4900. Any comments regarding ISO documents should be sent to your national standards body.
